Jul 28, 2023 · Ivan Sutherland’s Ph.D. thesis in 1963 resulted in the creation of Sketchpad, a pioneering computer application. Sketchpad was a pioneer in the field of human-computer interaction (HCI). Sketchpad is regarded as the forerunner of today’s computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Sutherland invented Sketchpad in 1962 while at MIT. Claude Shannon signed on to supervise Sutherland's computer drawing thesis. Among others on his thesis committee were Marvin Minsky and Steven Coons. Sketchpad was an innovative program that influenced alternative forms of interaction with computers.
Feb 21, 2023 · Ivan Sutherland discusses the origins of Sketchpad in his new CHM oral history. In January 1963, Ivan Sutherland successfully completed his PhD on the system he created on the TX-2, Sketchpad. With it, a user was able to interactively, and in real time, create line drawings on the computer’s CRT screen, using a light pen for direct input on ...
Ivan Sutherland’s Sketchpad is one of the most inuential computer pro-grams ever written by an individual, as recognized in his citation for the Tur-ing award in 1988. The Sketchpad program itself had limited distribution Š executable versions were limited to a customized machine at the MIT Lincoln
Jan 7, 2013 · Ivan Sutherland introduces the Sketchpad submitting his PhD thesis to MIT. The Sketchpad, one of the earliest programs for the TX-0, allowed direct manipulation of objects on a computer screen. Using the Sketchpad, a user could create and manipulate graphical figures with a light pen.
